Resumen

Contemporary studies in ecclesiology cover a range of issues and contexts. Studies in ordinary theology also deal with a diversity of doctrines. There is, however, no substantial study of ordinary ecclesiology, that is, the understanding of church by ordinary members individually and by local churches congregationally. My personal and professional context is that of an ordained Anglican. In the light of this the study addresses this gap in knowledge by exploring the ordinary ecclesiology of a Church of England congregation. It is an example of an ordinary ecclesiology contributing a thick description (Geertz 1973) of a particular congregation to studies of church. The focus on ecclesiology is driven by issues raised in the literature review which demonstrate that the mainstream denominations in Britain face particular challenges such as numerical and influential decline. The study is based on a two year ethnographic study of a commuter village church in a united benefice of four churches. The ethnographic study, based on participation in and observation of the church on a weekly basis, includes interviews, conversations, a focus group and an examination of the written data generated in the church (web-site; publicity; church newsletters; magazines; documentation). This qualitative data is analysed using a form of interpretive dualism (Soja 1996) which emerged as an appropriate method during the research. Three binary pairings describing ways of thinking about church are used: instrumental – ontological; temporal – transcendent; patron – subscriber. The research demonstrates how this local church goes about theological thinking on the idea of church and reveals the content of that thinking. The study concludes that ordinary theology is present in the local church but that it is largely unacknowledged as such and is mainly a personal or individual enterprise. The implications of this are discussed. That discussion concludes that ordinary theology needs to be seen as the task of the whole λαός of God rather than the task of the laity and that in order to do this the local church needs to be re-imagined as a theological community where theological thinking is encouraged and resourced. This discussion centres on the importance of ecclesiology as a key doctrine in the Church of England’s contemporary context. The study therefore makes a contribution to knowledge by identifying and articulating what the ecclesiology of a local church looks like. It contributes to and challenges current practice by proposing rethinking the nature and purpose of the local church.

Resumen

Étude comparée au niveau des paroisses (unités de base de la vie ecclésiale, choisies pour leur caractère multitudiniste) sur deux périodes dans les mêmes lieux pour mesurer l’évolution des pratiques œcuméniques et le sens de l’unité recherchée. Trois parties mettent en évidence 1) Les résultats par villes, 2) La progression de l’œcuménisme par thèmes : prières communes, groupes de rencontre, foyers mixtes et récemment Cours Alpha, 3) Les questions qui concentrent les difficultés : la forme d’unité recherchée, et l’enjeu des sacrements. L’œcuménisme poursuit son expansion au niveau local. Il est marqué par l’importance de la fraternité des chrétiens de toutes les Églises, dont la réalisation ultime est désirée dans l’hospitalité eucharistique réciproque. Cet œcuménisme manifeste aussi le souci de préserver les identités, vues comme n’étant pas séparatrices, souci qui se traduit par une méfiance envers tout projet d’unité institutionnelle
A comparative study across parishes (basic levels of ecclesial life, chosen for their multitudinist character) conducted over two periods in the same places to measure the progress of ecumenical practices and the concept of unity being developed. Its three parts discuss : (1) results by city ; (2) the progression of ecumenism by theme, i.e., common prayer, encounter groups, mixed-faith marriages, and the more recent Alpha Courses ; and (3) related complexcity issues : the form of unity being sought, and the implications on sacraments. Ecumenism continues to expend at local levels. It is marked by the strong emphasis placed on the brotherhood of Christians of all churches, whose ultimate realization is sought through reciprocal Eucharistic hospitality. This ecumenism also manifests the need to preserve faith identity, a concern that is interpreted as not separating, yet leads to mistrust any proposal of institutional unity

Resumen

La investigación se considera relevante desde el punto de vista científico; por el desconocimiento de cómo registrar, falta de capacitación, los inconvenientes en la ejecución de sus respectivos presupuestos, la no identificación de los problemas por errores de digitación, el cambio de personal cada vez que un Alcalde es elegido, la ausencia del control de calidad de la información y la inexistencia de manuales de procedimientos de registro de operaciones y contables, en el Sistema Integrado de Administración Financiera (SIAF). Teniendo en cuenta los problemas encontrados, se propuso contribuir con el mejoramiento del desempeño del usuario operador del Sistema Integrado de Administración Financiera en la Municipalidad Distrital de Pucará, del departamento de Cajamarca, 2013, desarrollando para ello un Instructivo del SIAF para Gobiernos Locales facilitando así el manejo a los operadores asegurando la elaboración y transmisión de Estados Financieros y sus anexos a la Dirección Nacional de Contabilidad Pública. Como resultado concluimos que el planteado Instructivo ha permitido ayudar en el registro de las operaciones portando la absorbencia de las dudas a los operarios, que se tenían en cuanto al ingresar el nuevo proyecto modificado una vez ya enviado el Presupuesto Inicial de Apertura, por ende el instructivo es de gran implicancia, asimismo se propone como recomendación que el estado brinde más de estos instructivos para que de manera más fácil se puedan guiar para el registro de la información.

Resumen

This thesis explores the pattern of relationship of local government institutions in Pakistan with the higher level of governments, particularly with the provincial governments, under whose jurisdictional purview they fall. Pakistan is a federation where the provinces are empowered to legislate on various aspects of the working of local councils. Despite being a provincial subject, the influence of the central government under both the military and civilian regimes has also been immense. To analyse this, field work was undertaken in two provinces of Pakistan (the Punjab and the N-W. F. P). In each a district was selected (Gujrat and Mardan respectively) and the working of their municipalities and district councils were studied in the context of the impact of party-politics, the administrative control exercised, and the implications of financial decisions taken by the higher levels of government. Part one of the thesis describes the origin and development of local government in the South Asian sub-continent, particularly an analysis of the initiatives taken for their growth by military and civilian regimes during the years preceding independence. Part two consists of the case studies of four local councils and an analysis of the provincial-local government relations under the present Local Government Ordinance of 1979 introduced by General Mohammad Zia-ul Haque. Part three reflects the concerns and recommendations of experts and those involved in the working of local government in Pakistan. The conclusions drawn from the thesis material show that, though local government institutions have been operating in an environment of political expediency and without assistance from the general political cultural background, they have been able to make positive contributions to the development of democracy and to the provision of local services for the general welfare of the people. Local government in Pakistan has suffered from gaps between theory and practice, public statements and practical realities, and a pervasive political context which has neglected the development of services. There has been a tendency to proclaim the virtues of local government in theory and to make promises to support local institutions but in practice to do much less and to continue with practices which do not enable local government and its services to flourish. The clearest exemplification of this is that periods of martial law, where democracy at a national level has been imperilled, have seen the positive encouragement of local government and local democracy as a means of gaining popular support for the regime. In contrast, in periods of democratic central government, local institutions have proved to be obstacles to central authority, and they have been neglected or abused in favour of a more bureaucratic mode of governing. Both military and civilian rulers have manipulated local institutions for their own benefit. The outcome has been that the relationship between centre and provinces and the provinces and the local institutions has never been balanced or fully articulated. At the local level, as illustrated in the case studies, the consequences has been a lower level of civic amenity than is either desirable or what local persons know is practicable with a more stable institutional base. The past record of the cases studied shows that, despite the impact of local and national politics, real progress had been made in services and in developing local democracy

Texto completo

Resumen

Selected area and Kikuchi diraction patterns, traditional bright eld and dark eld imaging techniques in electron microscopy as well as high resolution TEM and STEM techniques, together with electron backscattered electron diraction technique have been used to study the domain structures, local crystallography and atomic structures in PZT-based materials. Reliable EBSD mapping of 90 degrees domains in a tetragonal Pb(Zrx; Ti1-x)O3 with x = 0.5 ferroelectric perovskite has been achieved for the rst time, together with reliable automated orientation determination from TEM-Kikuchi patterns. This has been used to assess the local crystallography of domains by determining misorientation angles at 90 degrees domain boundaries and thus local c/a ratios. In most cases, a good agreement is found between local c/a ratios and global measurements by X-ray diraction, but some clear discrepancies have also been found suggesting that real local variations are present, perhaps as a consequence of compositional inhomogeneities. The details of the domain structure of the incommensurate antiferroelectric struc- ture in La-doped zirconium-rich lead zirconate titanate have been revealed in detail for the rst time. The structure is dominated by 60 degrees domain boundaries close to {101} planes of the primitive perovskite cell; and tilts of the perovskite sublattice of about 0.5 degrees are also noted at such boundaries consistent with a small tetragonal distortion of the primitive cell. Within each domain a streaked nanostructure is revealed under weak diraction conditions perpendicular to the long b-axis of the incommensurate supercell, which appears to be a consequence of planar faulting perpendicular to this b-axis. 90 degrees domain boundaries are also observed but are less frequent than 60 degrees boundaries and in con- trast to previous reports, these often have rather curved and irregular boundary planes. The atomic arrangement of these 90 degrees boundaries was studied by aberration corrected HRSTEM. Dierent stackings and periodicities were identied.

Porras, Sánchez Francisco Javier. "Broadening understandings of governance : the case of Mexican local government". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2005. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2602/.

Texto completo

Resumen

This dissertation is an evaluation of some of the basic assumptions of the literature on governance and their utility for understanding a specific case - that of Mexico. It argues that Mexican municipalities, like their counterparts in Europe and the United States, have experienced a change towards a way of policy-making based on broader policy-networks, fragmentation in governmental and societal bodies, participation of an increasing number of self-organised actors, and the resulting blurring boundaries between the public and private spheres. Mexican urban municipalities are evolving from traditional patterns of governmental interventions to dynamisms of local governance. This shift, however, has taken place in an uneven way, shaped by factors such as the complexity of urban problems, the political alternation, the federal policies on transfers, the different policy areas and issues, the looseness of networks and the way in which they operate. As a result, Mexican local governance has been developed in policy sectors that have a high legitimising potential or that are in great need for citizens’ resources. This has generated a picture of ‘patches’, where stronger policy networks and citizens’ involvement in policy-making coexist with traditional governmental mechanisms. The dissertation is a contribution to the differentiated accounts of local governance recently developed, which use diverse contexts to argue that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ form of governance. It is a reconsideration of the importance of local contexts in shaping policy-making through networks, as opposed to the initial context-free governance understandings. The conclusion recognises the relevance of the main arguments of governance literature. The thesis makes use of empirical evidence gathered in three urban municipalities. It employs qualitative methodological criteria, discussed in the methodological appendix. The main research techniques used were elite interviewing and documental analysis.

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil
Provincial governors constituted an important part of the decentralization package unveiled in Zimbabwe in 1984 and 1985. The President appoints provincial governors among other duties, to coordinate development planning and implementation at the provincial level. This paper seeks to examine the appointment and role of a provincial governor and in that way establish the extent to which such appointment and role hinder or enhance representative and participatory democracy, accountability, devolution and empowerment, as ideals of decentralization. This contribution examines provincial governance in Zimbabwe as part of the local government system.

Resumen

Moving local regression is a nonparametric technique for smoothing, interpolating and forecasting by means of locally fitted regression models. The paper explores the "optimal" structure of the weight function, taking into account the location of supporting points and the suspected behaviour of the remainder term, and surveys results on choice of weight functions in traditional moving local regression approaches.

Resumen

2008 - 2009
La disciplina relativa ai servizi pubblici presenta molteplici risvolti giuridici, contrattuali e di responsabilità che in passato hanno dato luogo a numerosi dubbi interpretativi anche in giurisprudenza, oltre che a soluzioni assai controverse. Tale normativa ha subito nel tempo una lunga evoluzione a partire dalla Legge n. 142/90, passando poi rispettivamente attraverso la Legge n. 205/2000 e la 448/2001, per poi approdare al Decreto legge n. 269/2003 convertito con Legge n. 326/03. Peraltro il disegno normativo è stato interessato da un recente ennesimo intervento ad opera della finanziaria del 2004 (Legge n. 350/03) che ha provveduto a completare ed integrare la riforma del settore. Come è facile notare la disciplina in oggetto abbraccia una normativa corposa che, inevitabilmente, ha risentito dell’introduzione di norme più volte modificate che non hanno offerto certezza di comportamenti giuridici lasciando, tra l’altro, agli enti locali grossi margini di discrezionalità, spesso non utilizzati in modo giuridicamente corretto. E’ evidente che il profondo mutamento della concezione di tali servizi, si è sostanziato, nel passato più o meno recente, in una sempre più incidente diminuzione dell’intervento pubblico a fronte di una presenza massiccia del privato nell’espletamento di quelle attività che caratterizzano il settore. E bene questo lavoro, se da un lato nasce dall’esigenza di comprendere quali siano state le cause del fenomeno cosiddetto di “privatizzazione” dei servizi pubblici, dall’altro è stimolato dalla necessità di indagare sugli effetti dell’esercizio di tali servizi da parte degli enti territoriali, a scapito del ruolo tradizionalmente assegnato in materia alla potestà statale...

Hall, Andrea. "Designing online learning environments for local contexts, as exemplified in the Sultanate of Oman". Faculty of Education, 2009. http://ro.uow.edu.au/theses/272.

Resumen

Online learning has a significant role in teaching and learning as it can be used to address the issues of quality and access to learning in higher education. However, for online learning to provide an effective solution, it needs to be designed to meet the learning needs of the students. This includes the consideration of their cultural preferences, as it is generally presumed that these significantly affect how people learn, and consequently affect learning success if courses are not designed appropriately.This is particularly important for the Sultanate of Oman, the focus of this study. Since Oman's renaissance in 1970, it has made impressive steps in the development of its education system from a mere three schools in 1970 to over a thousand in 2006 including over 20 higher education colleges and universities; but still faces the challenges of providing sufficient higher education and of sufficient quality for its rapidly expanding student population. If online learning is to be used to respond to these challenges, then the effect of cultural values and preferences must be considered in the way that learning is designed. However, there is little in the literature on how people in this culture learn, how they learn online, and how learning may be designed in a culturally-suitable manner. This is the problem investigated in the research: if culture does impact learning, how can learning be designed in a way that considers cultural values, and enables a successful learning experience? This thesis describes the development and refinement of design principles as an effective means to design culturally appropriate learning environments for higher education in the Sultanate of Oman.A Design-based Research approach was selected to for this study, as it can be used to develop a design solution that has been tested and refined in a genuine learning context, thus making the solution more useable and robust. This approach begins with the identification of the teaching and learning problem, then the proposal of a draft design solution from a literature review. This is followed with iterative testing in a genuine context, so that the theory is informed and modified in the learning environment. The final stage is the production of refined design guidelines and a modified learning environment that is specific for the context where it was tested.In this investigation, existing design models and principles were identified in the literature. These were used to develop design criteria to guide in the development of a design solution. From the literature review, concepts from Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory were extracted for the design solution as they were found to meet the design criteria more effectively than any other theories that were examined. The five online learning themes of social presence, interaction, collaboration, cognitive strategies, and student-centred learning were identified as a means to apply these theories to the learning design, and it was also found that these theories could be used to explain and verify cultural aspects of the learning design.From this theoretical basis, design guidelines were proposed for a specific context. The five online themes were used as a framework to develop guidelines that were developed from a literature review of learners’ responses to the online environment. Cultural theories were also used to identify worldview and values of the Arabic society so that learning preferences and guidelines could be created for learners with this background. The guidelines were then used to develop an online course, and these became the prototype design solution. This solution was tested iteratively in a context in the Sultanate of Oman, using a case study strategy, during two three month online professional development courses for university faculty. During each research cycle, data analysis was used to modify the design guidelines which then were used to modify the learning environment. This resulted in the development of design guidelines modified by practice and a learning environment modified by theory. Iterative research ensured that the design guidelines continued to shape the learning environment and that this practical context continued to modify and adapt the theory so that with each cycle of research, both the guidelines and the learning environment became more culturally suitable for these particular learners.It was found that the refined guidelines developed in this research were consistent with, and extended, the existing models they built on. They were also able to apply cultural preferences to the design of the learning environment which became increasingly suitable for learners from an Oman cultural background. This provides convincing evidence that this research has provided an effective design solution for culturally appropriate learning design, and for the Sultanate of Oman, where the teaching and learning challenge was identified. It was also found that culture does impact learning significantly, and this emphasises the necessity of using design principles that account for culture and enable the challenges of quality and access to be met more effectively.

Resumen

Regions of surface water and groundwater exchange are major sites for the transfer and transformation of solutes and nutrients between stream and subsurface environments. Conventional stream and groundwater exchange investigations are limited by methodologies that require intensive field investigations and/or the set-up of expensive infrastructure. These difficulties are exacerbated where hydraulic gradients are very low and stream discharge highly variable. This thesis uses a suite of environmental tracers (Cl-, Rn-222, H-2 & O-18, Sr-87/Sr-86) to characterise the extent of stream and groundwater exchange between a sand bed stream and adjacent alluvial aquifer in a subtropical catchment (the Wollombi Brook) of eastern Australia. The aims were to identify sources and relative contributions of different sources of groundwater to stream discharge and specifically to improve the methodology of using Rn-222 to obtain quantitative estimate of groundwater fluxes. The sensitivity of the Rn-222 technique for identifying groundwater discharge based on the Rn-222 concentration in stream water was improved via an iterative numerical approach to account for Rn-222 loss from stream water via turbulent gas exchange and radioactive decay. Optimal distances between stream sampling points for defining the magnitude of groundwater discharge to stream flow based on Rn-222 concentrations in stream water is a function of average stream velocity and water depth. The maximum allowable distance between sampling points for determining the magnitude of groundwater discharge to the Wollombi Brook was 2 km. This work showed that groundwater discharged to all reaches of the Wollombi Brook during baseflow and flood recession conditions. Alluvial groundwater contributed less than 30% of water to stream flow in the mid Wollombi Brook catchment. Dilution of steady-state Rn-222 concentrations measured in transects from the stream to the alluvial sediments showed that significant surface water and groundwater exchange occurs even when gradients between surface water and groundwater are low. Lateral stream water influx to the adjacent alluvial aquifer was more extensive in the lowland areas of the Wollombi Catchment during low flow than flood recession conditions. Extensive stream water influx to the adjacent alluvial aquifer occurs contrary to the net direction of surface water and groundwater flux (as indicated by hydraulic gradients toward the stream channel). The rate of stream and groundwater exchange within the adjacent alluvial aquifer appears to be greatest during baseflow conditions. Fresh alluvial groundwater appeared to provide a buffer against higher salinity regional groundwater discharge to the alluvial aquifer in some reaches of the Wollombi Brook catchment. Pumping of the alluvial aquifer and diversions of surface water may jeopardise the water quality and volume of the alluvial aquifer and induce water flow from the regional aquifer toward the stream, potentially salinising the fresh alluvial aquifer and subsequently the stream. The change in the Cl- concentration and the variation in slope of the deuterium ï¿½ oxygen-18 line between consecutive stream sampling points could be used to differentiate between regional and alluvial groundwater discharge to stream flow. Incorporating this information with three-component end-member mixing using [Sr2+] and Sr-87/Sr-86 showed that stream and alluvial groundwater exchange within the stream channel was highest in the lowland floodplains during low flow conditions. The least stream and alluvial groundwater exchange occurred in the low streambed gradient mid reaches of the Wollombi Brook regardless of stream stage. The greatest difference in the degree of stream and alluvial groundwater exchange between high and low stream stages occurred in the lowland floodplains of the Wollombi Brook.

Resumen

Nowadays young people and other members of the society often find themselves in many malpractices such as rape, suicide, murder dropping out of school and other harmful activities due to the use of cannabis sativa (dagga) which is on the rise. This study concentrated on the use of cannabis sativa (dagga) in Mzintlava, Ngquza Hill Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Young people are actually the victims of the consequences of the use of dagga. Indications are that parents often ignore their children to use cannabis sativa until they can no longer stop them. Earlier researches on substance use in South Africa have always been descriptive. This resulted in sketchy understanding of factors that predisposed young children to the use and even abuse of dagga and the reasons why parents and the community underestimated the practice until the stage of addiction. Without this understanding, it will be difficult to introduce effective ways of abolishing dagga use among young children and other members of the community. Finding effective measures to prevent substance use has been difficult. Research is therefore needed in order to understand the basis of the problem. This study attempts to examine factors that make parents and the communities to leave children to taking substances until the stage where they can longer stop them. It will also lead to establishing factors that put young children or teenagers particularly at risk to the use of dagga.

Resumen

Abstract EXAMINING CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS’ ATTITUDES AND RESPONSIVENESS TOWARDS INTIMIDATED WITNESSES ON THE LOCAL LEVEL: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS By Michon J. Moon, Ph.D. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011 Major Director: Laura J. Moriarty, Ph. D, Professor and Vice Provost of Academic and Faculty Affairs L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs The study explored criminal justice professionals’ attitudes and responsiveness toward witness intimidation on the local level based on their occupation and region of employment. Intimidated witnesses are vulnerable individuals that have fallen victim to competing social and civic expectations to which neither allow much consideration for the witness’ safety. This problem is evident in that too many local criminal justice agencies have yet to formulate substantive plans and dedicated sufficient resources to effectively address the growing problem of witness intimidation. A total of 59 major crime detectives, 52 prosecutors and 5 executive administrators from two regions of Virginia participated in the study. Major crime detectives and prosecutors were administered an online survey to gage their attitudes about intimidated witness issues and the administrators who are responsible for the allocation of resources and policy mandates for their respective agencies participated in interviews. Overall, 39 percent of prosecutors and 45 percent of detectives indicated that intimidation was more likely to occur in cases involving homicide, rape, aggravated assault, drug activity, gang activity, robbery, and domestic violence. On average 38 percent of detectives and 31 percent of prosecutors agreed that relocation assistance was warranted in circumstances such as, perceived threats, threatening calls, assault on witness, assault of family member, drive-by shootings, vandalism, stalking, domestic violence. Conversely, on average only 18 percent of prosecutors and 22 percent of detectives indicated that their agencies’ would more than likely provide relocation assistance to intimidated witnesses in these same cases. Appended are details of study, methodology, quantitative and qualitative analyses, as well as, demographic characteristics of study participants.

Resumen

The study looks at the applicability of integrating a Bus Only Shoulder (BOS) into the intermittently congested segment of US 101 in southern San Luis Obispo County. Policy, infrastructure and implementing criteria derived from case studies in Minnesota, Florida and California (San Diego) and the 2007 California Decision Document on BOS are applied to conditions in the region. One measure of performance, time savings, is projected to 2025 to determine the value of integrating the program by that horizon year. Given the substantial potential for time savings in that future year, recommendations are made to create the appropriate policy and infrastructure environment for the program.

Aracaju é uma capital de médio porte, com cerca de 800 mil habitantes na região metropolitana. Desde 1998 conta com a TV Cidade, primeiro canal local a cabo entre as capitais do Nordeste, que integra o line up da Net. Em 2001 ganhou mais um canal fechado: a TV Caju, pertencente à operadora independente Lig TV, que funciona pelo sistema MMDS. Ambos os canais já chegaram a contar com cerca de 30 programas locais, fato que movimenta, em parte, uma economia do audiovisual na cidade, embora o mercado local tenha obrigado as duas empresas a empreenderem reestruturações econômico-administrativas para a própria sobrevivência, encolhendo bastante seus projetos iniciais e acenando para novas perspectivas. A trajetória destes canais, suas estratégias como empresas e seu posicionamento no mercado de comunicação local são discutidos na presente investigação. Também é traçado um pequeno painel do setor televisivo no estado de Sergipe e a presença do conteúdo local nos respectivos canais. A pesquisa entrevistou profissionai

O presente trabalho investiga o funcionamento do Jornalismo no rádio comunitário, ao tomar como objeto de análise os programas jornalísticos Realidade Urgente e Bom Dia Cidade, das emissoras Nova Aurora FM, de Santana do Livramento/RS, e Elshaday FM, de Uruguaiana/RS. A preocupação central dessa investigação está pautada no modo como o local é discursivizado por esse Jornalismo. A escolha, portanto, vincula o rádio comunitário ao espaço local. Este é um conceito de difícil demarcação, que requer ser posto em relação com outra grandeza espacial para balizar o seu lugar, o que me levou a optar por municípios de fronteira geopolítica como espaço de observação e apreensão de um local, quais sejam: Santana do Livramento, na fronteira com o Uruguai; e Uruguaiana, com a Argentina, ambos no Rio Grande do Sul. Movida pela inquietação de tentar entender que local é esse, como ele é delimitado e que sentidos são atribuídos a ele nos espaços que se propõem ao Jornalismo no rádio comunitário, desenvolvo um Estudo de Caso
This work investigates the functioning of Journalism in community radios, taking as objects of analysis the journalistic programs Realidade Urgente e Bom Dia Cidade, of the radio stations Nova Aurora FM, from Santana do Livramento, and Elshaday FM, from Uruguaiana, both towns in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The main concern of this research is the way the “local” is transformed into discourse by this Journalism. The choice, therefore, links community radio to local space. This is a concept of difficult demarcation, which should be related to another spatial magnitude to limit its place, what has made me decide for towns near the geopolitical border as an area of observation and apprehension of the concept of “local”. They are both towns in the state of Rio Grande do Sul: Santana do Livramento, on the border of Uruguai, and Uruguaiana, on the border of Argentina. Moved by the inquietude of trying to understand the concept of “local” in this context, how it is delimited and which senses are attributed to it

This study was conducted on Estação Experimental Cascata, Embrapa Clima Temperado, in Pelotas, and on one family farm, in Morro Redondo. The objective of the study was to evaluate the scientific and local knowledge about the influences of management practices on soil fauna in ecological production systems. The methodology for samples of soil fauna, in each season, was done using the TSBF (Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility). Local knowledge was assessed using semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was done using th ecological indices as explanatory tools, and also the multivariate analysis (Principal Component Analysis - PCA) to evaluate the influence of management practices on soil fauna. In the first chapter, the ecological horticultural production systems cultivated under laminar composting with manure (CE) and mulch on the soil (CM), at Embrapa, showed the best values of soil fauna diversity, while treatment with frequent soil mechanization (MF) obtained a strong correlation with enchytraeids in all seasons. In the second chapter, results from interviews showed that the studied family recognize the role of earthworms in soil and understand the influence of the soil practices on soil fauna. It s possible to conclude that local knowledge is a valuable contribution to scientific knowledge to assess the influence of management practices on soil fauna. Moreover, the treatments CE and CM demonstrated their importance for to maintaining the soil diversity and for decreasing the hand labor in ecological horticultural production systems.
Este trabalho foi desenvolvido na Estação Experimental Cascata, Embrapa Clima Temperado no município de Pelotas e em uma propriedade agrícola familiar no município de Morro Redondo. O objetivo geral do estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento local e acadêmico sobre as influências das práticas de manejo na fauna edáfica nos sistemas de produção de base ecológica. A metodologia para a coleta da fauna edáfica, a cada estação do ano, foi baseada no programa TSBF (Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility). O conhecimento local foi avaliado a partir de entrevista semiestruturada com a família agricultora. Para avaliação dos dados foram utilizados como ferramentas explicativas, os índices ecológicos, e a análise multivariada, conhecida como Análise de Componentes Principais (ACP) para correlação das influências das práticas de manejo na fauna edáfica. No primeiro capítulo foi possível observar no sistema de produção de base ecológica de hortaliças da Estação Experimental Cascata, que os tratamentos com compostagem laminar com esterco bovino (CE) e cobertura morta sobre o solo (CM) apresentaram os melhores valores de diversidade da fauna edáfica, enquanto o tratamento com mecanização frequente do solo (MF) obteve uma forte correlação com os enquitreídeos em todas as estações do ano. No segundo capítulo, realizado através de entrevista com a família agricultora, foi ressaltada a função das minhocas no solo, além da compreensão que as práticas de manejo influenciam a presença da fauna edáfica. Com isso, foi possível concluir que o conhecimento local é um importante aliado ao conhecimento acadêmico para avaliar a influência das práticas de manejo na fauna edáfica. Além disso, os tratamentos CE e CM demonstraram sua importância para a manutenção da diversidade do solo e diminuição da mão-de-obra nos sistemas de produção de base ecológica de hortaliças.

Resumen

This research investigated the association of street network connectivity differences across travel modes with travel behaviour – mode choice, distance traveled and number of trips. To date research on travel behaviour relationships with urban form has not developed empirical evidence on street designs as distinct networks for walking and driving. A street network having greater connectivity and continuity for the pedestrian mode of travel vis-à-vis the vehicular network, like the Fused Grid, will likely encourage more walking. This hypothesis was investigated using a quasi-experimental approach within a rational utility behavioural framework. Local travel behaviour is theorized to be affected by desire to access goods and services (broadly termed, ‘activities’) in the community where people live. Using inferential statistics, the research tested for relationships between measured street patterns and self-reported local travel by King County, WA households. The main variables were ratios (walking : driving) of network connectivity and density, in the vicinity of travel survey households. Demographics and household characteristics, as well as other behaviourally influential urban form factors (residential density, proximity of destinations, etc.), were included in regression models, allowing control for confounding factors. Findings suggest that street networks with connectivity that provides better routing for one mode of transportation over others encourage more travel by the favored mode. The regression model demonstrated that a change from a pure small-block grid to a modified grid (i.e. Fused Grid) can result in an 11.3% increase in odds of a home-based trip being walked. The modified street pattern like a Fused Grid is also associated with a 25.9% increase, over street patterns with equivalent route directness for walking and driving, in the odds a person will meet recommended levels of physical activity. Finally, the Fused Grid’s 10% increase in relative connectivity for pedestrians is associated with a 23% decrease in local vehicle travel distance (VMT), and its improved continuity is associated with increased walking trips and distance. Conclusions: Other factors being equal, residential street networks with either more direct routing for pedestrians or more pedestrian facilities relative to vehicular network are associated with improved odds of walking and reduced odds of driving.

Resumen

2015 - 2016
Phytochemicals are non-nutritional compounds, naturally present in food and beverages, which exert beneficial effects on human health. The present Doctorate Thesis evaluates the biological properties of bioactive extracts prepared from Italian cultivars/products on different in vitro models to test their ability to ameliorate conditions of cellular oxidative stress, often associated with the occurrence of degenerative pathologies, such as cancer and neurodegenerative processes. The two classes of biomolecules investigated, polyphenols and carotenoids, are largely present in the three different foods and beverage investigated, e.g. red wine, elderberries and pumpkin. The results obtained suggest the existence of novel mechanisms triggered by red wine polyphenols and resulting in the protection of erythrocytes from plasma oxidizing species. These compounds are able to increase antioxidant defences in erythrocytes by activating Plasma Membrane Redox System. Moreover, we hypothesized that red wine polyphenols (73 µg/ml gallic acid equivalents) trigger a slight, but significant increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species, which induces a cellular adaptive response, which, in turn, increases antioxidant defences in erythrocytes. This aspect highlights the preventive role of polyphenols, which, through this mechanism of cellular adaptation against oxidative stress, can prevent the onset of degenerative and age-depending diseases related to oxidative damage, including neurodegeneration. In fact, the present work also describes an in vitro neurodegenerative model aimed to investigate the protective role of a polyphenolic extract from Sambucus nigra berries against oxidative damage induced by neurotoxic agents. We demonstrated that the efficacy of S. nigra polyphenolic extract (500 µg/ml, w/v) to effectively protect neuronal cells from apoptosis is probably related to its ability to modulate the cellular antioxidant response. The data obtained provide an initial indication for future clinical trials addressed to prove the preventive role of these natural extracts against degenerative conditions. Finally, a different class of antioxidant compounds, carotenoids from Cucurbita moschata, showed a functional effects on the proliferation of malignant cell lines. The mechanism of action of a carotenoid-enriched extract (200-400 µg/ml) has been investigated on two malignant cell lines, Caco-2 and SAOs, derived from a colon adenocarcinoma and an osteosarcoma, respectively. The results obtained indicated that pumpkin carotenoids do not directly kill cancer cells, but slow down their proliferation. This effect was associated with an alteration of the energetic metabolism which resulted in a decreases intracellular concentration of ATP and the activation of autophagy. Probably, the “not-protective” autophagy detected directly or indirectly induces cellular differentiation in malignant cells, a possibility that deserves further investigations. [edited by author]
I fitochimici sono composti non-nutrizionali, naturalmente presenti in alimenti e bevande, che esercitano effetti benefici sulla salute umana. La presente Tesi di Dottorato valuta le proprietà biologiche di estratti bioattivi preparati da cultivar/prodotti italiani su diversi modelli in vitro in relazione alla loro capacità di migliorare le condizioni di stress ossidativo, spesso associato con la comparsa di patologie degenerative, come il cancro e processi neurodegenerativi. Le due classi di biomolecole indagate, polifenoli e carotenoidi, sono largamente presenti nei tre diversi alimenti studiati, tra cui vino rosso, bacche di sambuco e zucca. I risultati ottenuti suggeriscono l'esistenza di nuovi meccanismi innescati dai polifenoli del vino rosso e risultanti nella conseguente protezione degli eritrociti da specie ossidanti del plasma. Questi composti sono in grado di aumentare le difese antiossidanti degli eritrociti attivando il sistema Membrane Plasma Redox. Inoltre, abbiamo ipotizzato che i polifenoli del vino rosso (73 µg/ml di acido gallico equivalenti) innescano un lieve, ma significativo aumento di specie reattive dell'ossigeno intracellulare, che induce una risposta adattativa cellulare, che, a sua volta, aumenta le difese antiossidanti negli eritrociti. Questo aspetto evidenzia il ruolo preventivo dei polifenoli, che, attraverso questo meccanismo di adattamento cellulare contro lo stress ossidativo, può prevenire l'insorgenza di malattie degenerative dipendenti dall'età relative al danno ossidativo, compresa la neurodegenerazione. Infatti, il presente lavoro si è focalizzato anche su un modello neurodegenerativo in vitro al fine di studiare il ruolo protettivo di un estratto polifenolico di bacche di Sambucus nigra contro il danno ossidativo indotto da agenti neurotossici. E’ stato dimostrato che l'efficacia dell’estratto polifenolico di S. nigra (500 µg/ml, w/v) nel proteggere efficacemente le cellule neuronali da apoptosi è probabilmente legata alla sua capacità di modulare la risposta antiossidante. I dati ottenuti forniscono una prima indicazione per futuri studi clinici rivolti a dimostrare il ruolo preventivo di questi estratti naturali contro le condizioni degenerative. Infine, una diversa classe di composti antiossidanti, i carotenoidi presenti in Cucurbita moschata, hanno mostrato un effetto funzionale sulla proliferazione di linee cellulari maligne. Il meccanismo di azione di un estratto arricchito in carotenoidi (200-400 µg/ml) è stato studiato su due linee di cellule maligne, Caco-2 e SAOs, derivate rispettivamente da un adenocarcinoma del colon e un osteosarcoma. I risultati ottenuti hanno indicato che i carotenoidi della zucca non inducono la morte delle cellule tumorali, ma rallentano la loro proliferazione. Questo effetto è stato associato ad un'alterazione del metabolismo energetico cellulare che porta a un decremento della concentrazione intracellulare di ATP e all'attivazione dell'autofagia. Probabilmente, l'autofagia di tipo “non-protettivo” che si attiva dopo trattamento con i carotenoidi, induce differenziamento cellulare nelle cellule maligne, una possibilità che merita ulteriori indagini.

Resumen

This thesis is a contribution towards legal history of Roman Asia Minor from the creation of the province of Asia to the enfranchisement of the free population of the Empire by the emperor Caracalla. Chapter I is concerned with the Hellenistic background and with the theoretical framework for explaining the relationship between the suzerain and the cities in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The possibility of using Bickerman’s ‘surrender and grant’ model for introducing much needed nuance into usual dichotomy of ‘free’ and ‘subject’ cities is argued for. Chapter II deals with the court of the Roman governor. It is argued that there was no limit set on govenor’s jurisdiction from below and that the main way in which governor’s burden was relieved or legal autonomy of local communities guaranteed was through delegation of decision at the apud iudicem stage of the proceeedings. An in-depth study of the procedure is provided. Chapter III provides an analysis of the assize circuit system, above all in the province of Asia. Arguments for continuity with the pre-Roman administrative structure are advanced and a new hypothesis of significant structural changes in the second century A.D. advanced. Chapter IV explores the jurisdiction of other Roman officials: proconsular legates, quaestors, and above all procurators and other imperial officials. The division of responsibility with the governor’s court and their role in covering the areas not usually penetrated by the governor’s jurisdiction is discussed. Chapter V deals with judicial autonomy of the ‘free’ and ‘federate’ cities. It is argued that the extent of these privileges was widely variant and the possibility that some of them applied only to the apud iudicem stage explored. Chapter VI is concerned with courts of the ‘subject’ communities. It is suggested on the basis of recently published evidence that ‘subject’ communities could retain a high degree of judicial autonomy. Different models used by the Romans are explored and compared. Chapter VII explores a vexed question of internal jurisdiction of Jewish diaspora communities in Asia Minor. The validity of Flavius Josephus' evidence is upheld and the role of 'ancestral laws' ideology in Roman interventions in support of Jewish courts discussed. Two appendices discuss a recently published inscription from Chersonesus Taurica and offer an annotated list of passages in the Corpus iuris civilis dealing with Asia Minor in our period respectively.

Resumen

Cette thèse étudie les différentes possibilités de svnthèse des binaphtalènes -2,2' par la réaction SRN¹. Dans une première partie consacrée à l'étude de réactions des tétralones-1 avec des halogénonaphtalènes (Voie A), une réduction importante de ces derniers a été constatée, rendant médiocres les rendements en produits de substitution (20-32%). Dans la voie B, la réaction SRN¹ entre des acétophénones et des halogénonaphtalènes, décrite dans la littérature, a été améliorée (62-93%). Les nucléophiles dérivés d'acétonaphtones-2' ont été utilisés dans les voies C (49-77%) et D. En utilisant les o-bromoacétophénones comme substrats (voie D), un certain nombre de binaphtalènes-2,2' dissymétriquement hydroxylés a été synthétisé avec de bons rendements (52-83%). L'obtention des dérivés polysubstitués en position adjacente à la liaison 2-2' par la même voie est plus difficile (17-36%) à cause de l'encombrement stérique au niveau du nuclécphile dérivé d'acétonaphtone-2'. Dans la dernière partie (Voie E), nous avons montré qu'il était possible de préparer par la réaction SRN¹ des binaphtalènes-2,2' et -1,1' dissymétriques ou -1,2' en une seule étape utilisant des naphtolates comme nucléophiles. Certaines molécules synthétisées au cours de ce travail sont des analogues plus ou moins proches du gossypol, et pourront servir à amorcer une étude sur les relations entre la structure et l'activité biologique de cette substance naturelle.

Resumen

The use of performance information is the backbone of performance management. Performance information use refers to the willingness of public managers or other relevant stakeholders to incorporate quantitative or qualitative data in their decision-making. Both routine and nonroutine performance information is considered essential in managers’ decision making. Understanding the organizational factors that motivate public managers to use performance information is an important topic in the literature and practice of performance management. Although the number of studies on information use is growing, little is known about the impact of Organizational Social Capital (OSC). OSC is composed of the sub-dimensions of social interaction, trust, and shared goals. The main argument of this study is that OSC fosters performance information use in public administrations. It is expected that departments with high levels of organizational social capital are more likely to use both routine and nonroutine performance information. To test the hypothesized effect, department heads, middle managers, and other individuals with a supervisory role from 513 Florida County Government departments were surveyed. Furthermore, interviews, focus groups, and analysis of secondary data were performed to provide the context and the narrative surrounding the hypothesized effect. Analysis of the survey data reveals evidence in support of the hypothesized effects. Furthermore, the comparative case study analysis shows the existence of substantial differences in the history, background, organizational culture, and management between the two counties. The main findings show how reorganization processes as well as a lack of leadership may have detrimental effects to organizational social capital. Organizational social capital could be considered a relevant predictor of performance information use and thus deserves further attention from both researchers and practitioners.

Resumen

In the last years people has become more aware of issues regarding corporate social responsibility. This has led to a more thorough control of big multinational companies, which are often held account of violating social, ethical and environmental values. The term most often used for this is corporate social responsibility (CSR). H&M is a Swedish multinational company and the concept of H&M is fashion to a low price. The material most often used in producing clothes is cotton. Cotton is the most sprayed crop and a great amount of water, pesticides and inorganic fertilizers are used in order to get better and bigger harvests leading to a negative impact on both environment and people working in the production chain. Organic cotton is a great alternative and a growing number of consumers are asking for clothes made out of organic cotton. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate whether H&M is taking responsibility for the social, ethical and environmental parts of CSR and how H&M uses organic cotton in their clothes. The thesis also accounts for the role of the consumer and other stakeholders regarding demand of organic cotton.

Methods used are literature studies and interviews conducted by phone and e-mail. The results show that the overall impression is that H&M as a company is taking several actions in order to take responsibility. By using organic cotton in collections on all departments and by supporting a number of non governmental organizations (NGO) H&M has had a positive development and is now seen as one of the most successful companies regarding CSR. H&M has integrated a stakeholder perspective in their activities which shows that the company is putting focus not only at the consumers but also at other important stakeholders. H&M should however focus more on local sustainability, in order to help sustain a positive development in developing countries multinational companies such as H&M need to take a bigger responsibility and attend so that a bigger profit remains in the sub contractor countries.

Resumen

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Development Studies in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at the University of Zululand, 2017
Primary agriculture is an essential activity that ensures a supply of raw food material. This research study examined small-scale agricultural projects and their role in poverty reduction with particular reference to Cezwana area in Jozini, South Africa. Small-scale agriculture plays an important role in development in this area, not only in terms of income generation, but overall regional economic growth. The agricultural sector has significant potential to transform the Jozini economy. The study examined the possibilities for small-scale agricultural development in Cezwana area and drew on the relevant literature as a framework to understand the agricultural sector in relation to the strategies employed by the government to develop smallholder farms. While it is acknowledged that policies have been adopted to promote food security by ensuring a steady supply of raw food materials to the manufacturing sector, and to create jobs and income, the sector’s potential has yet to be realized. In order to assess the status-quo of small-scale agriculture in Cezwana area and its effect on poverty reduction, data were obtained from Cezwana Youth Cooperative Limited, Zamani Gardening, Isiqalosethu Gardening, and the Department of Agriculture (DoA) in Jozini Local Municipality. The study identified the major factors that constrain the development of small-scale farming and indeed the overall agricultural sector in Jozini such as the neglect of agriculture arising from dispersed zones, inadequate infrastructural facilities and extension services, a shortage of labour, a decline in the quality of land due to climate change, a lack of project management, and policy inconsistency, etc. It recommends the provision of supportive facilities to farmers, as well as transparent extension services, price stabilization and prioritizing and building small-scale agriculture to ensure that this sector takes its rightful place in South Africa’s economy and contributes to poverty reduction.

This research aims to "analyze the Creative Economy in peripheral municipalities of Paraná". The research was based on the understanding of the creative economy, from its founding father, John Howkins, focused on intangible asset that generates wealth and is the fastest growing economy in the world. Was based on data from secondary sources, bibliographies and especially also by the official as well as on primary data. To this end, these were searched in 20 municipalities with less than 7,000 inhabitants, having as target a purposive sample of 13 leaders, representatives of public-private, institutional and public bodies, totaling 260 respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire with objective and subjective questions applied in situ and accompanied by an interview. As a result, it was found that approximately 80% of the leaders are male and which is the predominant training graduation. It was found that the counties recorded in the last decade a negative density of 1.7% (1,563 inhabitants). It was noticed that the different stakeholders surveyed believe in the Creative Economy as an alternative socio-economic and cultural development, and should be a structural and design a public-private and institutional policy. Pointing to an average growth of 103.8% of their numerous activities, areas and structures, with the greatest potential for implementation in the short and medium term the newspaper itself, rural and eco tourism, eco parks and travel plans, the vocational and language schools, the municipal theater, recycling and reuse of materials with added value, drawing, painting and others. The áreas of Pato Bragado, Quatro Pontes, Entre Rios do Oeste, Maripá, Mercedes e Serranópolis do Iguaçu are among the top municipalities performers in Creative Economy. However, the 20 studied municipalities need to overcome several bottlenecks difficulty with skilled labor, since they lose workforce of young talent for the regional centers that have higher job creation and greater opportunities for employment, income, studies and others. It has high dependence on agriculture, as well as federal and state public resources, as well as several critical social indicators of GDP, HDI, municipalities dormitories, among others. It is concluded that the Creative Economy through diversification of activities, gathers strength and expertise to leverage the growth and development of the peripheral municipalities, through their main public and private actors, organizations, institutions and citizens, among others.
Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar a Economia Criativa nos municípios periféricos do Oeste do Paraná . A pesquisa pautou-se na compreensão da Economia Criativa, a partir do seu fundador e pai, John Howkins, focada no bem intangível que gera riquezas e que é a economia que mais cresce no mundo. Fundamentou-se em dados de fontes secundárias, em especial de bibliografias e também junto aos órgãos oficiais, bem como, em dados primários. Para tal, estes foram pesquisados nos 20 municípios, com população inferior a 7.000 habitantes, tendo como público alvo uma amostra intencional de 13 lideranças, representantes de órgãos público-privados, institucionais e cidadãos, totalizando assim 260 pesquisados. O instrumento de pesquisa foi um questionário com questões objetivas e subjetivas aplicado in loco e acompanhado de entrevista. Como resultado, identificou-se que aproximadamente 80% das lideranças são do gênero masculino e cuja formação predominante é o da graduação. Constatou-se que os municípios registraram na última década uma densidade demográfica negativa de 1,7% (1.563 habitantes). Verificou-se que os diferentes atores pesquisados acreditam na Economia Criativa como uma alternativa de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e cultural, devendo ser um projeto estruturante e uma política público-privada e institucional. Apontando para um crescimento médio de 103,8% de suas inúmeras atividades, áreas e estruturas, tendo como maior potencial de implementação a curto e médio prazos o jornal próprio, o turismo rural e ecológico, os parques ecológicos e os roteiros de viagens, as escolas profissionalizantes e de idiomas, o teatro municipal, a reciclagem e reutilização de materiais com valor agregado, o desenho, a pintura e outros. Estão entre os melhores desempenhos na Economia Criativa os municípios de Pato Bragado, Quatro Pontes, Entre Rios do Oeste, Maripá, Mercedes e Serranópolis do Iguaçu, entre outros. No entanto, os 20 municípios pesquisados precisam superar vários gargalos, como à dificuldade com a mão de obra especializada, visto que perdem a força de trabalho de jovens e talentos para os polos regionais, que oferecem maiores oportunidades de empregos, renda, estudos e outros. Tem ainda, alta dependência da agropecuária, bem como, dos recursos públicos federais e estaduais, assim como, vários com indicadores sociais críticos de PIB, IDH, municípios dormitórios, etc. E por fim, conclui-se que a Economia Criativa, pela diversificação de atividades, formas e âmbitos, reúne forças e expertises para alavancar o crescimento e o desenvolvimento dos municípios periféricos, por meio dos seus principais atores públicos e privados, organizações, instituições e cidadãos, entre outros.

Resumen

Bakgrund: Stressrelaterad ohälsa och utmattningssyndrom ökar i Sverige vilket leder till fler långtidssjukskrivningar. Detta innebär ett stort lidande för de drabbade och höga kostnader för samhället. Stress som kvarstår under längre tid påverkar kroppen negativt och leder till kognitiv utmattning, sömnproblematik, utbredd trötthet, somatiska besvär, irritabilitet och negativ affekt. Utsatta personer är även i riskgrupper för allvarliga somatiska sjukdomar. Syfte: Att beskriva förekomsten av stressrelaterad ohälsa och utmattningssyndrom i en storstads-region. Metod: Data samlades in genom ett tvärsnittsurval bland kvinnor och män i arbetsför ålder boende i en storstadsregion. Mätinstrumentet som användes var Karolinska Exhaustion Scale (KES) (26). Korrelationsanalyser gjordes för att sedan jämföras med en tidigare studie där patienter diagnostiserade med utmattningssyndrom ingick i urvalet. Resultat: Respondenterna uppgav att symtom på fatigue och sömnsvårigheter var mest utbredda följt av irritabilitet. Ingen signifikant skillnad påvisades mellan kvinnor och män, ensam- eller sammanboende i urvalsgruppen. Studien påvisar en statistisk signifikant skillnad mellan studiens urvalsgrupp och en patientgrupp från en tidigare studie. Detta indikerar sämre stressrelaterad hälsa bland patientgruppen. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar fatigue och sömnsvårigheter var mest förekommande av symtomen på stressrelaterad ohälsa i urvalsgruppen. Någon slutsats om skillnader mellan kön, ensamboende och sammanboende inom urvalsgruppen har inte kunnat konstateras. Stor signifikant skillnad kunde påvisas mellan urvalsgruppen och patientgruppen från en tidigare studie. Klinisk betydelse: Sammanställd data från studien kommer att användas för vidare forskning.
Background: Stress related illness and burnout are increasing which contributes to further long term sick leaves in Sweden. This causes great suffer for the individual and high expenses to the society. Being a subject to long term stress will have a negative impact on the body and may lead to cognitive exhaustion, disturbed sleep, excessive fatigue, somatic symptoms, irritability and negative affectivity. Exposed people are also at risk for other severe somatic illness. Aim: To describe the presence of stress related illness and burnout in a conurbation. Method: Data was gathered from cross-sectional samples consisting of women and men in a working age living in a conurbation. The study’s instrument was the Karolinska Exhaustion Scale (KES) (26). Correlation analyses were employed to compare with a sample from a previous study with patients diagnosed with burnout. Result: The findings show that individuals in the study had most difficulties with symptoms referring to fatigue and disturbed sleep, followed by irritability. No conclusion was made referring to differences between men and women or between those living alone and the cohabitants as no significant difference could be proven. There was a significant difference between the sample of the study and the sample from patients of the previous study. Conclusion: The findings of the study shows that of all the symptoms of stress related illness fatigue and disturbed sleep had the highest prevalence among the sample. Conclusions referring to differences between gender, individuals living alone and the cohabitants could not be proven. High significance level was found when comparing the sample of the study with a sample from a previous study with patients diagnosed with burnout. Clinical implication: Gathered data from the study will be used for further research.

Resumen

In addition to general knowledge on the official curriculum subjects, including the English language, schools convey multiple cultural and ideological meanings, playing a significant role in the processes of socialization and cultural reproduction. The function of school textbooks as powerful agents of socialization is realized through the texts and visuals in the content. Locally issued ELT materials, written in English by local authors, comprise a combination of local and foreign social meanings. Positive social change may be initiated by constant revision of cultural and ideological implications in educational media and subsequent exclusion of integrated biased meanings and linguistic forms reinforcing social inequities. This research study deals with gender representations and gender discriminatory meanings in ELT textbooks. It focuses on the ways gender-related social inequalities are reflected in texts and illustrations in two ELT series published by the Turkish Ministry of National Education and the Iranian Ministry of Education. Critical discourse analysis was chosen for investigation of gender issues integrated in the content of the textbooks. The study examined representations of female and male characters at code level in the pronoun and noun systems, at sentence level in reading passages and dialogues, and in visuals. The study revealed imbalance in representations of woman and man, and gender-related stereotypes in all examined categories of both ELT series. In both Turkish and Iranian textbook sets, traditional female and male roles depicting women as mothers and housewives and men as breadwinners were emphasized more than modern ones sustaining gender egalitarianism in public and family spheres. In contrast to women, men took active parts in all essential social fields, and bigger numbers of males than females were involved in texts and illustrations. Authors&rsquo
gender did not have a big influence on the results obtained by the current research. It was suggested that gender-related ideologies and stereotypes are shared, supported, and unconsciously reproduced by both women and men in a society.

Resumen

Atomistic simulations based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) were used to model the lattice distortions in metallic nano-polycrystalline microstructures, with the purpose of supporting the analysis of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns with a better, atomic level understanding of the studied system. Complex microstructures were generated with a new modified Voronoi tessellation method which provides a direct relation between generation parameters and statistical properties of the resulting model. MD was used to equilibrate the system: the corresponding strain field was described both in the core and in surface regions of the different crystalline domains. New methods were developed to calculate the strain tensor at the atomic scale. Line Profile Analysis (LPA) was employed to retrieve the microstructure information (size and strain effects) from the powder diffraction patterns: a general algorithm with an atomic level resolution was developed to consider the size effects of crystalline domains of any arbitrary shape. The study provided a new point of view on the role of the grain boundary regions in nano-polycrystalline aggregates, exploring the interference effects between different domains and between grain boundary and crystalline regions. Usual concepts of solid mechanics were brought in the atomistic models to describe the strain effects on the powder diffraction pattern. To this purpose the new concept of Directional - Pair Distribution Function (D-PDF) was developed. D-PDFs calculated from equilibrated atomistic simulations provide a representation of the strain field which is directly comparable with the results of traditional LPA (e.g. Williamson-Hall plot and Warren-Averbach method). The D-PDF opens a new chapter in powder diffraction as new insights and a more sound interpretation of the results are made possible with this new approach to diffraction LPA.

Resumen

Im ersten Teil wird eine neue Konstruktion der parabolischen Induktion für pro-p Iwahori-Heckemoduln gegeben. Dabei taucht eine neue Klasse von Algebren auf, die in gewisser Weise als Interpolation zwischen der pro-p Iwahori-Heckealgebra einer p-adischen reduktiven Gruppe $G$ und derjenigen einer Leviuntergruppe $M$ von $G$ gedacht werden kann. Für diese Algebren wird ein Induktionsfunktor definiert und eine Transitivitätseigenschaft bewiesen. Dies liefert einen neuen Beweis für die Transitivität der parabolischen Induktion für Moduln über der pro-p Iwahori-Heckealgebra. Ferner wird eine Funktion auf einer parabolischen Untergruppe untersucht, die als Werte nur p-Potenzen annimmt. Es wird gezeigt, dass sie eine Funktion auf der (pro-p) Iwahori-Weylgruppe von $M$ definiert, und dass die so definierte Funktion monoton steigend bzgl. der Bruhat-Ordnung ist und einen Vergleich der Längenfunktionen zwischen der Iwahori-Weylgruppe von $M$ und derjenigen der Iwahori-Weylgruppe von $G$ erlaubt. Im zweiten Teil wird ein allgemeiner Zerlegungssatz für Polynome über der sphärischen (parahorischen) Heckealgebra einer p-adischen reduktiven Gruppe $G$ bewiesen. Diese Zerlegung findet über einer parabolischen Heckealgebra statt, die die Heckealgebra von $G$ enthält. Für den Beweis des Zerlegungssatzes wird vorausgesetzt, dass die gewählte parabolische Untergruppe in einer nichtstumpfen enthalten ist. Des Weiteren werden die nichtstumpfen parabolischen Untergruppen von $G$ klassifiziert.
The first part deals with a new construction of parabolic induction for modules over the pro-p Iwahori-Hecke algebra. This construction exhibits a new class of algebras that can be thought of as an interpolation between the pro-p Iwahori-Hecke algebra of a p-adic reductive group $G$ and the corresponding algebra of a Levi subgroup $M$ of $G$. For these algebras we define a new induction functor and prove a transitivity property. This gives a new proof of the transitivity of parabolic induction for modules over the pro-p Iwahori-Hecke algebra. Further, a function on a parabolic subgroup with p-power values is studied. We show that it induces a function on the (pro-p) Iwahori-Weyl group of $M$, that it is monotonically increasing with respect to the Bruhat order, and that it allows to compare the length function on the Iwahori-Weyl group of $M$ with the one on the Iwahori-Weyl group of $G$. In the second part a general decomposition theorem for polynomials over the spherical (parahoric) Hecke algebra of a p-adic reductive group $G$ is proved. The proof requires that the chosen parabolic subgroup is contained in a non-obtuse one. Moreover, we give a classification of non-obtuse parabolic subgroups of $G$.

Resumen

Reconciling heritage conservation and development within the management of historic urban environments is recognised as one of the most challenging issues in the field of heritage conservation and urban management by academics and practioners. Existing urban heritage conservation policies, regulatory frameworks and tools operating around the world proved to be inadequate or insufficient in regulating urban transformations in historic urban environments. The “heritage versus development dilemma” has been a central argument in the 21st international discourse on urban heritage conservation management and development. UNESCO, the United Nations, ICOMOS and the Council of Europe have tried to overcome this persisting dichotomy through the adoption of a series of international texts. The evolution of a 21st century international discourse represents the international recognition that a “new paradigm for urban heritage conservation and management” has gradually taken shape since the beginning of the century. From this moment, urban heritage conservation can be seen as an all-encompassing, integrated urban management strategy, which incorporates the perspectives of urban planning and socio-economic development. The contemporary approach suggests moving beyond existing regulatory and management frameworks, recommending a revision of local practices so that they are consistent with the key principles of the new paradigm. However, there is still a need to carry out further research in order to understand how existing and consolidated urban management systems currently operate. This is a fundamental step towards effectively implementing the new paradigm into local practices. This interdisciplinary study aims to advance knowledge in the field of urban heritage conservation and management through a detailed assessment of the level of consistency of existing policies with the key principles of the 21st century approach. To the knowledge of the author, this is the first comprehensive and comparative assessment of multi-scalar (at national, regional, provincial and local levels) and multi-sectorial (including heritage conservation, urban planning and socio-economic development) urban management policies that has been carried out so far. To conduct this study, an original assessment framework was developed by the author with the objective of providing a qualitative evaluation tool which was able to link the international theory with local practices. The thesis focused on the two World Heritage cities of Florence (Italy) and Edinburgh (UK). It systematically demonstrated how some of the key principles of the new paradigm are already integrated into local urban management policies of these two historic urban environments. The study was first conducted by testing the assessment framework on the two case studies. Subsequently, a critical analysis of the two urban management systems was carried out, integrating the assessment results with data collected through semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders involved in the definition and implementation of the assessed policies. Finally, a comparison of Florence and Edinburgh’s approaches to urban heritage conservation, management and development were illustrated and discussed. In this way, it was possible to discuss the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of different urban management systems in incorporating a 21st century international approach. Moreover, the study identified existing similarities and discrepancies between different approaches and to highlight good practices and critical aspects. The research findings constitute a step towards understanding whether a revision of existing policies and tools is necessary and how this could be done. The assessment results could be used by national and local governments to revise their current urban management policies according to the contemporary international approach to urban heritage conservation, management and development.

Resumen

Dissertação de Mestrado em Cidadania e Ambiental e Participação apresentada à Universidade Aberta
A origem deste trabalho, fundamentou-se na necessidade de chamar à atenção dos parceiros sociais e da população em geral, da importância da implementação de uma AGENDA 21 LOCAL em Almeirim. Esta deve ser construída de uma forma sistematizada com a adopção de metodologias participativas e sustentáveis. Como o sucesso da sua implementação, depende muito do empenhamento dos seus cidadãos, torna-se necessário atrair o maior número de participação possível. Assim, seguindo a linha do pensamento que está por detrás dos princípios que reguem a implementação da Agenda 21 local, pretendeu-se em primeiro lugar saber a opinião dos actores chave do concelho, para tal procedeu-se à identificação dos diferentes actores-chave existentes no concelho de Almeirim e à sua selecção para a realização de 10 entrevistas qualitativas que foram gravadas, com o consentimento dos mesmos. Após transcrição integral do seu conteúdo, foram sujeitas a análise descritiva de natureza interpretativa, sobre as questões mais importantes e relevantes para este trabalho. Para além de se recolher informação junto dos diferentes actores chave, outro dos objectivos do trabalho era perceber se a população estava sensibilizada para esta temática e procurar junto desta informação para a identificação das principais forças e fragilidades do concelho. Assim realizaram-se inquéritos por questionário junto da população das 4 freguesias de Almeirim que permitiu esclarecer vários aspectos quanto à vida no concelho. Com os resultados obtidos através da análise qualitativa e quantitativa e do levantamento dos dados locais para os 3 eixos da sustentabilidade (ambiente, económico e social), foi possível fazer uma análise SWOT, que revelou a as potencialidades e os pontos fracos de Almeirim. Com este trabalho pretendeu-se de alguma forma dar início a um processo de reflexão, que conduza à preparação do processo de desenvolvimento da Agenda 21 Local. Espera-se que este trabalho, possa de algum modo, ser um veículo facilitador da implementação da Agenda 21 Local e que desperte a consciência dos actores-chave e dos cidadãos para se envolverem em todos os processos de decisão em Almeirim.
The origin of this thesis was based on the need to draw attention to the social partners and the general population, the importance of implementing in Almeirim the LOCAL AGENDA 21. This should be constructed in a systematic way with the adoption of participatory approaches and sustainable, how its implementation largely depends on the exercise of its citizens, it becomes necessary to attract the largest number of possible participation. Thus, following the line of thought that lies behind the principles that water the implementation of Local Agenda 21, efforts have been made to gather input from key stakeholders, for this we proceeded to carry out 10 qualitative interviews that were recorded. After full transcript of its contents were subject to descriptive analysis of an interpretative nature, on the most important and relevant to this work. Also, information poured in questionnaires prepared for the population of the four parishes, clarified several aspects about life in the county. With the results obtained by analyzing qualitative and quantitative interaction and contact with some local agents, it was possible to do a SWOT analysis, which revealed the reality of the region. This work was intended to somehow initiate a process of reflection that leads to startup and preparation of the implementation process of Local Agenda 21. It is hoped that this work can somehow be a vehicle to facilitate the implementation of Local Agenda 21 and to awaken the capacity of key stakeholders and citizens to get involved in all decision-making processes.

Resumen

Wild mustard is an indigenous leafy vegetable. Its use is limited by a lack of knowledge of its agronomy. However, it is a rich source of nutrients and other minerals. Nowadays, the use of indigenous crops has been replaced by exotic crops. Climate change is affecting agricultural productivity. South Africa is a water scarce country with uneven rainfall distribution. Therefore, studies on water stress effects on plant growth were promoted by the Water Research Commission and the University of KwaZulu-Natal to understand plant responses to water stress for commercial and subsistence farming. The objective of the study was to characterise local wild mustard cultivars morphologically and physiologically with respect to production, and for the purposes of identifying their drought tolerance. Three experiments were conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in order to evaluate the responses of local wild mustard cultivars to water stress. Seeds of wild mustard cultivars were characterised according to seed coat colour. Seed quality was determined by a standard germination test. Vigour was then tested using electrolyte conductivity. Seeds were sown in seedling trays under two water regimes of 25% field capacity (FC) and 75% (FC) on pine bark growing media. The experiment was terminated at 21 days when root and shoot lengths were measured. The effect of water stress on protein content and seedling growth parameters was determined. Soil was collected from the University of KwaZulu-Natal Research Farm for a pot trial. Seeds of wild mustard were sown in 81 pots, each filled with 2 kg of soil, under three water regimes (25% FC, 50% FC and 75% FC). Pots were maintained at the corresponding field capacity level by re-weighing the pots, three times a week. Measurements of plant height and leaf number were recorded weekly. The experiment was terminated at the flowering stage. At the end of the experiment, plant growth parameters (plant height, leaf area and number, dry and fresh mass) were measured in order to evaluate the effects of water stress at the vegetative stage. A field trial was conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal Ukulinga Research Farm in Pietermaritzburg. The experiment was conducted during the winter and spring of 2009. A completely randomised design was used for non-irrigated and irrigated (25 mm/week) trials. Emergence was measured as well as plant height and leaf number. Plant growth parameters were also measured at the end of the experiment. Leaf samples were taken for proline determination. There was a significant interaction (p<0.05) between seed colour, landraces and days to germinate with respect to germination capacity. Isaha and Masihlalisane landraces showed higher germination percentages than Kwayimba. There was also a significant interaction (p<0.05) between landraces and seed colour with respect to electrolyte conductivity. Lighter seeds of wild mustard landraces showed higher solute leakage. Isaha and Masihlalisane had higher solute leakage than Kwayimba. Significant interactions (p<0.05) between landraces and field capacity with respect to emergence, leaf number, root and shoot length and total proteins were also observed. Isaha and Masihlalisane showed higher emergence than Kwayimba. Leaf number was reduced for all landraces under water stress. Total protein content was high in black seeded landraces under water stress. There was a significant interaction (p<0.05) between landraces and field capacity with respect to seedling fresh and dry masses. Under moderate water stress conditions, Isaha and Masihlalisane showed increased biomass accumulation. There were highly significant differences (P<0.001) in plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry mass with respect to planting date. Plants performed significantly (p<0.05) better in spring than in winter. Isaha and Masihlalisane performed significantly (p<0.05) better than Kwayimba. There was a highly significant interaction (p<0.001) between landrace and irrigation treatments with respect to proline accumulation. Under water stress, Kwayimba black seeded landrace accumulated more proline. It is concluded that light-coloured seeds of wild mustard landraces were associated with good seed quality. Masihlalisane brown seeds have good early seedling establishment. Kwayimba black seeds showed tolerance to water stress through accumulation of proteins. Isaha and Masihlalisane showed an increase in biomass accumulation under moderate water stress. Water stress tolerance in some of wild mustard landraces was negatively correlated with proline accumulation. Masihlalisane brown type can grow well, with good yields, under water stress.

Resumen

The Department of Social Development has made good progress in finalizing children's court enquiries and placing children officially in formal foster care with relatives. This has major implications for accessing social support in the form of foster care grants and is aimed at reducing the burden of poverty. However, there are challenges in terms of follow-up and professional foster care supervision to meet the goals or vision of the Department. Supervision of placements is not done and it is not known how placements are progressing after Children's Court enquiries. Foster parents are referred to South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) for foster grant processing and no further contact is made with the clients unless there is a problem with the foster care grant. The foster family is seen after two years when it is time for review of care placement of the child. We do not provide support to kinship carers or close supervision to children in kinship care. The overall aim of the research was: • To investigate the physical and material circumstances of the families. • To explore the psycho-social needs of the children. • To explore the physical and emotional problems of the kinship carers • To identify support systems available to kinship carers. This research provides a comprehensive description of the living circumstances of the children and the families. This will enable social workers at the Department of Social Development to develop tailor made community and group work programmes to address specific areas of concern and so improve social service delivery to children and their caregivers. It has also provided a baseline for further studies which may be pursued to establish whether the type of care has improved.

Resumen

Este estudo analisa o processo de criação de um Grupo de Trabalho, na área da nutrição, no distrito de Caué, em São Tomé e Príncipe. Tendo por base os conceitos de desenvolvimento local e parceria, argumenta-se neste estudo que a criação de parcerias, com vista à promoção do desenvolvimento local, podem concretizar uma coordenação e colaboração entre vários sectores da sociedade permitindo dar resposta à falta de eficiência das intervenções que muitas vezes se verifica em países do Sul, sobretudo quando estamos perante áreas geográficas rurais empobrecidas e isoladas como a que é estudada neste relatório e o interesse das populações mais marginalizadas pelos processos de desenvolvimento. O processo que aqui se descreve tem contornos e implicações cuja descrição e análise não se encerram neste trabalho. No entanto, face à analise e descrição que aqui se apresenta espera-se levantar questões e sugerir pistas para a concretização de parcerias e para a intervenção numa lógica de desenvolvimento local. Não se assume esta parceria como um sucesso, mas é sem dúvida um exemplo uma vez que foi uma iniciativa pioneira e que produziu bons resultados num contexto complexo como é o distrito de Caué em S. Tomé e Príncipe.
This study analyses a Working Group‘s making process, in the nutrition field, in the Caué district, in Sao Tome e Principe. Based on local development and partnership concepts it is argued in this study that the creation of partnerships, with view to promoting local development, can on one hand promote coordination and cooperation between different sectors in society, providing the answer to the lack of efficiency, so common in Southern countries (especially when one is faced with rural, impoverish and isolated geographical areas, which is the case in this report) and, on the other hand, promote marginalised people‘s interest in developing processes. The process described here has implications whose description and analysis do not end in this work. However, up against the description and analysis presented here is expected to raise issues and suggest avenues for the implementation of partnerships that aim to pursue a local development framework. The partnership in study is not taken for a success, but it is certainly an example once it was a pioneering initiative which has produced good results in a complex context as is the district in Caué S. Tome and Principe.
